Correct answer

The right option is to walk at night, which is the most rational choice given that during the day it is incredibly hot in the desert and it can take months for someone to fly over or come across your SOS message (provided that it’s not erased by the sand within hours). At night, it will be much easier to move because the temperature drops from approximately 118°F during the day to 60°F at night. Much easier indeed!

In such situations, you should always give yourself time to think, analyze the situation, weigh all the pros and cons of each option, and only then act.
